Yes, that's my backyard...about 15 feet from my back door. I could go on and on about the damage they do and the plants they have destroyed, but in reality, we are extremely lucky to have them around.

We get extremely excited in early summer when the does bring their fawns around for their first public appearances. It really is a sight to behold. We get equally excited when the bucks show up in late fall. All activity stops in our house as we run for the cameras and we stand by the windows to get a better look.

Thanks so much for your comment. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately, I've been getting lots of spam comments, so I'm turning on word verification to help keep spammers away. I know it's a pain; I don't like it either. Hopefully, in time I'll be able to turn it off again. Thank you!
